RECEPTACLE-HOLDER.

l Application filed October 9, 1,907. Serial No, 396,585.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, CHAELEs CHASE LIT- TLE, a citizen of the UnitedStates, 4and a resident of San Jose, in the county of Santa Clara andState of California, have invented a new and Improved Receptacle-Holder,of which the following is a4 full, clear, and exact descrrlipltion.

A 's invention is an improvement in holders vfor cups, glasses and otherlike receptacles more especially constructed for the use of water colorpainters in outdoor sketching, and is ada ted to be applied to the crossbar lpor other support, in a manner to carry the glass in an uprightposition.

The object of the invention primarily is to l provide a holder of simpleandinexpensive construction having a seat for the glass, with means forembracing the body thereof when Iplaced on the seat, and for attaching.the

older to a support.

Reference is to be had to the accompany ing drawings forming a part ofthis specification, in whlch 'similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the preferred embodiment of my improvedholder showing a glass carried thereby in dotted outline; and F1 2 is aplan-view of the same.

In the referred construction of my improved ho der an arm 10, made of asingle piece of wire in' the form of a yoke, has t e central ortionthereof bent to provide a loop 11 whic is adapted to receive a screw inattaching itto the crossbar of an easel or other support. The free endsof the yoke 10 are coiled to form apertures and with the extremitiesthereofoutwardly turned to provide stops 12. Received within theapertures formed by the coiled free ends of the i yoke' are theoppositely turned ends of a4 anger- 13, the said hanger being also madeof a single piece of wire having the'lower ortion thereof bent in U-formto provide a ase 1,4, which is arranged at substantially right anglesto' the han er and extends in a reverse direction from t e arm 10; Bythis construction it is apparent the hanger 13 and its attached lbase 14may be swung on the arm 10 as a pivot, over the support to'which the armis attached, .thus carrying it to a 'removed position when not in use.When the Specification of Letters Patent.

the hanger 13 are attached Patented Sept. 15,1908.

hanger and base are turned to the position illustratedf the hanger willcontact with they stops 12 and be thereby held against further inwardmovement. To the opposite sides of s ring arms 15, also constructed ofwire an made in the form of loops, `the ends of whichv are rigidlyfastened to the hanger by twisting the wire of the loops thereabout asis most clearly shown in Fig. 1. The spring arms will yield to conformto theshape of the glass, o r other receptacle, when seated on the base,and will embrace the body thereof, thus preventing its accidental dislacement from'the holder.

While I have s own only one form of my invention, it is "ap arent thatvarious other modifications of tiie same might be made,

and I consider that I am'entitled to such changes as fall within thescope of the claims annexed.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent,'- y

1. A receptacle holder comprising a wire hanger havin the lower portionthereof bent at substantia ly ri ht-angles thereto into U- form toprovide a ase on which the bottom of the receptacle is adapted to seat,a wire arm of substantially U-form from which the hanger is supportedand extending in an 0pposite direction from that of the base and m aplane substantially parallel therewith when the holder is in normalposition, and wire loops rigidly attached -at each side of the hangerproviding spring-arms to bindingly embrace the receptacle when seated onsaid base.

A receptacle holder, comprising a wire arm bent into the form of a YyokeWiththe free ends thereof coiled to provide apertures,

a wire hanger having thevfree ends 'thereof oppositely turned andarranged within said apertures, the lower portion of said hanger beingangularly bent to provide a base, and

.means carried by the hanger for embracing the receptacle when seated onsaid base.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresencey of two subscribing Witnesses. I

CHARLES CHASE LITTLE.
